She has way more in her, I was playing with shift points and I definitely wasn't driving it to her full ability. Not only that, but my 60ft alone has mid 11's in it.

Best 3 runs of the night:

1) 11.91@118, 1.8 60', 1/8th mile 7.72@92

2) 12.03@118, 1.9 60', 1/8th mile 7.8@92

3) 12.07@117, 1.8 60', 1/8th mile 7.8@91

For the 11.9 I shifted first at about 6k, 2nd and 3rd were to near redline.

For all those runs she only had about 20-30 minutes cooldown.

If I can get my 60' down and find better shift points(and drive it better :p ), I can see the car willing to do 11.5 or even 11.4, especially with more cooldown inbetween runs, the track was dead tonight and i couldn't help myself :burnout:

It was also about 75 with 60% humidity

Anyway, it was a great time regardless! :rockon:

Thanks Bob yeah we had a good time. My buddy took his RX8, pulling 2.3 60's was getting 15.6s i believe... his first time to the track with the car. And a few buddies came along to cheer me on in my quest for 11's. since i ended last year with a 12.2 .

The best part was the 11.9 was my last run, and right after I finished the run it just felt like a low 12, it felt like I had so much more in it.

Then after I got my timeslip for 11.9, we left, 5 minutes driving it starts raining :rockon: :beer: talk about luck :lol:

Congrats on hitting the 11's!!! Good writeup. I love those track days when it's not crowded and you can really take your time and work on certain areas. Nice job.
